If Chicago must be portrayed, prdb ably no one Is better fitted to do il than Will Payne, the well known nov elist, v/hose stories of the life of th< western metropolis are so full o knowledge and keen observation. Hi: character study of the big town, pub lished In Everybody's Magazine foi October, celebrates its hundredtr birlhday, and gives a vivid picture ol the great, overgrown, noisy, dirty good-tempered hobbledehoy among cities, ignorant of the value of urban Ity, yet rampant wim a vital onorgj that is to carry it on to a maturity 0 vast importance. No one is a nativ* non of Chicago—everyone has come there; but through all the frankness of this adopted son, neither hoastfu nor defiant, but humorously just, rum the note of loyalty and sympathy tha makes the westerner stand by hi: town, even though there may be bettei ones; and that is very healthy for th( town.

Days Off Allowed — The ji ji company to allow men to reg- ij . .j later a week in advance for days j' j desired off. ing gripmeu and conductors, were ac-; i tive in their efforts to block the prog ress of the ears and cause wrecks • wherever possible. Few policemen as signed to the unpleasant duty of es corting the cars escape without bruises more or less serious, for at points along the line hand-to-hand tignts with the unruly element are , inevitable. The following account of the first day’s happenings during the strike at Chicago is typical: When it was announced that the I company Intended to operate cars, i lines of union pickets were thrown out at various points. The pickets used i every effort to dissuade the loyal em ployes from reporting for duty. At the i same time a hoodlum element, whose work is disavowed by the strikers, be gan to gather along the more prom inent crossings and undertook to threaten the men who were goiug to work. The first train was taken out of the barns at G:30 a. m. and started south ward. Three hours later the two cars, with broken windows and bat tered sides, crept slowly back to the barn entrance. As it forced its way through a crowd of men and women which blocked the street Gripman Mc Mahon was shouting: “Let me get this thing Into the barns, boys. Then I’ll be with you." The crowd opened the way and the trailer passed through the doorway. It hail taken the train nearly three hours to make a trip which is scheduled at thirty-six minutes’ running time un der ordinary conditions. In these three hours had been crowded scenes or rioting, the wrecking of live trains, and the injury of nearly every one of the ten men who had essayed to as sist the street oar company to continue its service in spue of the strike. Four other trains followed the first from the barns at short intervals. Only two of those were brought back by the crews in whose charge they started out. One was towed hack by a wreck ing wagon, and another returned under an escort of police. This ended the attempts of the street car company to move passenger trains, but the mail trains passed over the line without in terference. The second train out of the barns j was In a serious condition. His back , was injured and be was taken to his home. the car from which Apple was taken ! was pushed forward by a mail train I which followed, coupled to the grip in charge of McFarland, and taken back to tho barns in a wrecked condition. I McFarland’s trip was far from a peace | ful Journey. He was beset by a mob j at Fifty-seventh street and Lake ave nue. and was being hemmed in by the I mob when Inspector Hunt of the Ildye Park police went to his rescue. Mar j shallng his men on either side of the ’ train, Inspector Hunt accompanied the train back to tho barns at Thirty eighth street. The return trip under the police guard was slow' but devoid ot any violence. Joe Waterhouse was the gripman oX the fourth train that started out, j and James Hraley was the conductor | on the trailer. This train got no far ther than Fortieth street when the Blot brought the train to a standstill and left the men at the mercy of the rioters. “Watson ran nis train around to Fiftieth street and then transferred to the ambulance," is the way a picket put It. While a part of the mob swarmed aboard the grip car and attacked Wat son others climbed Into the coach and seized Orton. Before the police could interfere both men were severely in jured. Watson's arm was so severely injured that at first it was believed to have been broken. Later examina tion show no fracture, but the man was badly bruised and cut. Men stand ing on the fender of the car struck at him, and when he was finally rescued by the police he was bleeding from a dozen wounds. Ho was taken to his home suffering from four painful scalp wounds. The abandoned cars were then made the object of the mob's vengeance, and the windows and woodwork were brok en and battered. For over an hour the train lay on the track, and was finally moved by a mail train. The mail train pushed the disabled pas senger train north to the Thirtieth eighth street barns, under a guard of police headed by Inspector Hunt and Lieut. Walsh. With the return of this car, the at tempt of the railway company to op erate passenger cars in Cottagi Grove avenue ended for the day. Six-Year-Old Chum of Irving. When Sir Henry Irving was staying lately at Manchester, England, the C year-old son of William Mollison of Sir Henry's company strayed into his rooms one afternoon. Invited to make himself at. home and take some re freshment, he consumed a pear and a bottle of lemonade with apparent sat isfaction. Then, gazing steadfastly at his host, he said: "I do miss Phil May,” referring to the artist who died recently. "So do we all,” said Sir Henry, gravely. “Yes, but I miss in this “sideways" fashion the cur rent forces it across the channel. It carries 100 tons of cargo over in four minutes. Advised Turtle Soup. A noted dealer in paintings was talking about the late George Innes, the landscape painter. "Innes entered my shop one day,” he «aid, “as I was studying a very old canvas. The varnish on this canvas had chilled, and the figures had be come shrunken. I called one of my assistants and told him that the pic ture had better be revarnished. “ ‘We want to bring those figures out,' I explained. “ ‘All right, sir,’ said the young man. ‘What varnish shall I use? Co pal or mastic?’ “ ‘If you want to bring out the fig ures,’ Innes interposed, 'use turtle soup.’ " I City Railway's Reply to De mands. 1. Wages. 11 Increase not possible.

The leading article—and it is one that must attract a great deal of attention —takes up the way in which the big corporations influence legislation at Washington, tells how ‘the lobby is managed, and points out what sena tors and representatives are in the service of the trusts and just what trusts they serve. It is a most strik ing story and one that is only too true. There is al3o a clear-cut sketch of Charles F. Murphy, the present leader of Tammany Hall, with r. full page portrait.

We speak of the "copper cent,” but it is not en tirely copper. Its composition is f '» per cent copper. 3 per cent tin and 3 per cent zinc. That alloy is in reality bronze, and the official name of tho cent is “bronze.” There used to be a copper cent, but an act discontinuing its coinage was passed in 1S57. For seven years (1857-1S04) we had a nickel cent, and up to 1857 a copper half cent. No more cents r.-o to lie made by the Philadelphia mint for at least a year, unless a special order is issued by the treasury, in the ia-t ^ five years 3,000,000,000 "pennies" have been shipped for the mint to various parts of tne country. Between July 1, 1902, and June 1, 1903, 89,000,000 bronze cents were coined. The total number of cents coined since the mints were established, In 1793, is 4. 281,a *1,393.

A woman who has used Postirn Food Coffee since It came upon tho market eight years ago knows from experience the necessity of using Pos tum in place of coffee if one values health and a steady brain. Sha says: "At tho time Postum was first put on the market I was suffer ing from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I de cided to take his advice and try Pos tum and got a sample and had it care fully prepared, finding it delicious to tho taste. So I continued Its use and very soon its beneficial effects con vinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking cof fee all his life until it had affected bis nerves terribly. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to g<>t him to make the change for tho | Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum dees not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and hon estly strengthens tho nerves and the stomach. To mftko a long story short cur entiro family have now used Pos tum for eight years with completely satisfying results as shown in our fine condition of health, and we have noticed a rather unexpected improve ment In t rain and nerve power." Name given by Postum Co., Battlo Creek, Mich. Increased brain and nerve power al ways follow the use of Postum In .place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner.
